3 Outline LEDDRA philosophy LEDDRA approach LEDDRA objectives LEDDRA conceptual framework LEDDRA theoretical framework LEDDRA methodological framework Analysis of the policy context Study site applications Anticipated impacts
4 LEDDRA philosophy Rational, responsive and effective sustainable land management and land use planning as well as sensible policy making at all levels rest on a fundamental prerequisite: The systematic and holistic study of human responses to LEDD Human responses to LEDD are any type of formal (planned, institutionalized) and/or informal (unplanned, non-institutionalized) action in LEDD-affected regions that purports to: (a) directly and explicitly tackle a LEDD problem or (b) address other socio-economic problems as well as individual and collective goals
5 LEDDRA philosophy Responses to LEDD depend critically on WHO does WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY
6 LEDDRA philosophy LEDDRA posits that: there is a dynamic two-way relationship between (a) LEDD problems and their geographic, socio-environmental and institutional context, and (b) responses to LEDD problems and their context. The success of responses in meeting environmental and social goals depends on how they fit and how they are well adapted to the biophysical and societal conditions prevailing in a region
7 LEDDRA approach LEDD occurs in socio-ecological systems (SES) i.e. in coupled human-environment systems LEDDRA adopts the ecosystem approach and the Complex Adaptive Systems and the Resilience Thinking paradigms to study the socio-ecological fit of responses to LEDD Three main land themes, distinguished according to three land use/land cover types, are examined: cropland, grazing land, forests/shrubland Each land theme is characterized by a particular mode of production Study sites, representative of the land themes, have been chosen from Italy, Greece, Spain, Morocco and China
8 A. To develop the theory of responses to LEDD in general, for cropland, grazing land and forest/shrubland regions and in selected study sites B. To compile, improve and enrich existing and develop new integrated assessment methodologies to: (a) assess the socio-ecological fit of various types of existing or proposed responses to LEDD and (b) identify optimal response assemblages LEDDRA objectives C. To provide applications in selected study sites D. To introduce the policy context and to provide policy recommendations at various levels; in general, for cropland, grazing land and forest/shrubland regions and in selected study sites drawing on the theoretical and applied research results
9 LEDDRA conceptual framework Land & ecosystem degradation and desertification (LEDD) A reduction, or progressive loss, in the potential or capacity of ecosystem(s) to support vital environmental and socio-economic functions, the provision of ecosystem services and the efficient use of resources in the present and in the future. Response Assemblage The combination of response types and measures and the environmental, socio-economic and institutional conditions that prevail in a region Socio-ecological fit of responses to LEDD The degree to which responses are well adapted to the prevailing biophysical and socio-economic, cultural and institutional conditions in a region and preserve its socio-ecological resilience
10 LEDDRA conceptual framework Socio-ecological resilience (SER) The capacity of a socio-ecological system to respond to disturbances and reorganize, while undergoing change, so as to preserve its critical functions, structure and feedbacks that secure its continued normal functioning and ensure that future development options are not foreclosed. Positive responses to LEDD, planned and unplanned, and Optimal Response Assemblages enhance the socio-ecological resilience of an affected region.
11 LEDDRA conceptual framework Stages
12 LEDDRA theoretical framework LEDD problems and responses to LEDD arise from the interaction among three broad types of capitals: Natural Economic Social The relationships among the components of the three capitals determine the properties of the SES and, eventually its socio-ecological resilience, and its dynamics over time Particular emphasis is placed on the important role of social capital in shaping socio-ecological resilience at the regional and the community level (community resilience)
13 LEDDRA methodological framework Focal scales for the study of the socio-ecological fit of responses to LEDD: regional and community Based on the conceptual and the theoretical frameworks, the methodological framework comprises the following steps: Evolution of the SES state and transition periods of the SES Description of the state and transition periods of the SES; i.e. the ARA in each period Analysis of each state and transition period of the system capitals, relationships, role of policies, properties, SER, socio-ecological fit of responses ORA optimizing the current ARA Guidance: policy & land management recommendations based on the analysis
14 LEDDRA methodological framework Tools for the analysis of the SES over time and the assessment of socio-ecological resilience (SER) - Storylines - Quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques to assess: The components of the capitals The relationships among the components of the capitals The properties of the SES Socio-ecological resilience (SER) The socio-ecological fit of responses to LEDD The qualitative methods include in-depth and elite interviews and stakeholder workshops The methods and techniques employed may apply to all land themes in general and to specific land themes in particular
15 Analysis of the policy context Selection of policies that directly and/or indirectly relate to LEDD and to responses to LEDD, acting as drivers either of LEDD or of responses to LEDD International agreements EU policies National policies Some policy may be land theme-specific (e.g. forest policies) National level: Description of selected policies Study site level: Analysis of policy implementation, impacts, effectiveness
16 Analysis of the policy context Example of policies analyzed at the two Greek study sites Development policies Agricultural/rural policy Regional development policy Transport policy Spatial policy Energy policy Tourism policy Environmental Policies Horizontal policy Water policy Nature protection policy Forest policy National Plan to Combat Desertification and Drought Horizontal policies Administrative
17 LEDDRA study site applications Cropland Grazing land Forests/ shrubland Greece, Italy, Spain, China Spain, Greece, Morocco Italy, Spain Messara Valley, Crete (Greece) Alento river basin (Italy) Zhang Jiachong area-zi Gui County (China) Jucar river watershed (Spain) Western Andevalo-Sanlucar de Guadiana area (Spain) and Huel Baixo Guadiana (Mertola & Alentejo (Spain-Portugal) Sobrabe Area- Huesca Province, Aragon (Spain) Timhdit area-land of the Ait Beni Yakoub tribe-middle Atlas (Morocco) Asteroussia Mts., Crete (Greece) Matera Prefecture- Mediterranean Coastal & Upland study site (Italy) Western Andevalo- Sanlucar de Guadiana area (Spain) The analysis is performed at the level of the study site as a whole (regional level) and at the level of selected communities from each study site (community level)
18 LEDDRA study site applications The study site applications in LEDDRA serve as research tools to: assist in the development of theory, assessment methodologies and policy analysis, and illustrate of theory, assessment methodologies and policy analysis that are developed in LEDDRA A Study Site Application Plan (SSAP) has been developed, and it is continuously being refined and updated, to guide the consistent analysis of all 10 study sites. Work carried out so far at most study sites: Delineation of the SES, selection of communities for in-depth study Data collection and analysis at the regional and the community level Identification of the state and transition periods of the SES Assessment of capitals and their relationships Policy analysis selection of policies, description, analysis of policy implementation and impacts (preliminary) Stakeholder workshops
19 LEDDRA Dissemination Implementation of the LEDDRA DUE plan: Actors Media Modes Actors Compilation of lists of stakeholders from the international to the local level Media Journal publications, conference presentations, press releases, LEDDRA brochure, LEDDRA website ( LEDDRiS ( Modes Conferences (participation, organization, special sessions) Special events (China, Morocco) Stakeholder workshops Radio and TV talks
20 LEDDRA Dissemination
21 LEDDRA anticipated impacts Strategic impact Enrich the understanding of responses to LEDD in a cross-national context Provide valuable knowledge for policy makers at all levels and for local stakeholders International level support the Science Programme of the CST address UNCCD implementation-related concerns (10-year Strategy (COP8)) suggest synergies among the UNCCD and the UNCBD EU level Essential knowledge and support: to formulate strategies and plans to take action to address the main soil threats (EU Soil Thematic Strategy) to formulate an EU Soil Framework Directive (draft Directive COM(2006) 232) to inform related policies (development and environmental) and policy initiatives (e.g. disaster preparedness) National and local level Essential integrated knowledge to: update and improve existing or formulate new NAPs in affected regions assist stakeholders in making informed land management decisions
